Speaking of tomato blight, I understood, the virus which
causes it comes out of the soil. If that is true, what do we do
this year? Treat the soil? Please don't say garden in another
spot, that would be way too much work for a couple of old farts.


sorry, but you really should plant in a different spot. did you have
Early or Late blight? has your ground frozen solid?
freezing kills a lot of the spores, but if you had late blight,
you're better off growing tomatoes in a different location or in pots
for at least 3 years.
